Boer War Soldier? |

Here is a photograph approx 4 ins x 6 ins
mounted on card 7.5 ins x 11 ins. The photographer is not named.
It appears that the subject has been cut out, then re-photographed against
a plain background. |

Is this a photograph from the Boer War?
If so, from which regiment? If you know, please
e-mail me.
Thank you.

Scottish Horse
"The
'Boer War' soldier is actually WW1 although the unit was formed
during the Boer War. He is a member of the legendary Scottish
Horse, they were a breed apart.
He can be identified by his tunic which has 3
vertical buttons on the cuff, unique to The Scottish Horse.
Do you have any idea who he is? I am
fascinated."

The owner of this
photograph is currently trying to discover who is in the photo.
The only clue they have so far is the surname 'Kirk' which might or
might not be relevant.
